You don't need to search for font, in fact, I don't even think font is in here. These are all different kinds of meta data. What you want to do is under criteria, and I was using this before, it normally starts out like with this, with the first bit of meta data. Then how do you do a search? Just go to edit and choose find or press command or control F, and it knows that you want to look in book files, it's looking at what you're seeing right here in book files, and here's the little bread crumb trail so it's looking in book files, that's what it's reading. If I went to my desktop, I could see these are the three folders on my desktop, for example, and I could open it there. Of course, you can always start hunting through these folders to find it. What that does is it starts the program up and it shows you what's inside there. What I normally do is just drag and drop it right on top of the icon and then release. Here I have five different InDesign files in a folder called book files. I wanna see if a particular font or a particular color's being used in a group of files.

Go ahead and install it, it's now at Bridge CC 2018, as I record this, and I keep it in my dock here or I keep a shortcut on my desktop and I keep it in favorites on Windows because this is what I frequently do. They've been updating it, it's been part of the Adobe pantheon of creative apps since I can't remember when. If you don't have Bridge, go to your Creative Cloud app, go to the app section, and scroll down to find where Bridge is and then install it. I'm gonna go ahead and quit out of it for now. There's lots of other videos that we've done in this title and that, in the online training library as well, all about Bridge. If you're not familiar with Bridge, really quickly, it's just a different way of looking at all the files on your hard drive, kind of like Explorer on Windows or the finder on a Mac, all your files are available right here and you can do all sorts of fun stuff with it. I've already downloaded it and opened it up, this is the default view when you first open it up.
So I'm gonna close this up and switch to Adobe Bridge. But it would be very tedious if I had to do a search across, say, five or 10 or 50 different documents or everything in a client's project folder, for example, and that's when you'd wanna use Bridge. Here's just one file that's open and you could go to the swatches panel, of course, to see which swatches it uses, or you could go to the type menu, choose find font, and see the fonts that it uses and there are probably some ways to use find change dialogue box to do the same kind of searching. And before I talk to you about that and it's really simple, don't get scared by Bridge, let's take a look at the document in InDesign. Hey kids, have you ever wanted to search through a whole mess of InDesign files looking to see which one used a particular font or a particular Pantone color? I'm gonna show you a fast way to do that that is really not within InDesign, but it's within Adobe Bridge.
